Fahaka in a 90?

[borgey]

well its my understanding that most if not all puffers that are fresh water are only freshwater when juvies to brackish and or full salt water at mature size as to the green terror thats a no the salinity in the water would kill him and or he would get nipped at so much by the puffer he would eventually die those puffers are mean lil guys and can be very aggressive especially with fish that have long flowing fins do some research on keeping brackish water fish and i think you'll change your mind on your selection of fish

I'm a noob and know this is not true.......

Please do not get a fahaka if you can not upgrade the size of your tank soon. In 2 years your fahaka would be very stunted.

Enless your 90 is a custom tank that is around 24in wide and you can add a sizable sump to up the gallon size.

There are many many full fresh waterpuffs to look at. I wanted a fahaka as well until I realized that realistically a big tank wont happen for me until I buy my own place.

I was looking for something to go in my 60, and found the abei puffer which fit the tank great and wont ever outgrow it. Provide the right home the first time. Getting something that you'll have to eventually upgrade tanks for is usually a good way to hurt the fishes quality of life. Granted I know my abei has about 20 gallons more than it should but he loves exploring everything.

Take a look around at your other options or take a look at craigslist like said before. Might get lucky.
